The Europass Diploma Supplement is a document attached to a higher education diploma, in order to make it easier for third persons – particularly in another country – to understand what the diploma means in terms of knowledge and competences acquired by its holder.
The Europass Diploma Supplement does not replace the original diploma and does not give any entitlement to formal recognition of the original diploma by academic authorities of other countries. On the other hand, it facilitates a sound appreciation of the original diploma, so that it can be helpful to obtain recognition by the competent authorities or by admission staff of higher education institutions.
Starting from 2004 all universities in Latvia are issuing Diploma Supplement.
